Discussion

This is clearly culled from a source with a particular, that is: partisan, point of view. Too much of the "history of Augsburg" is considered only from the point of view of the Roman Catholic Church. Many of the historical facts are correct, but the portrayal is clearly biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.199.106 (talk • contribs) July 8 2006

I concur; indeed, the real problem is how much is left out. One of Augsburg's distinct features is that Catholics and Protestants coexisted there for centuries before this was common in other parts of the world, and this fact is utterly overlooked. From 1802-1941, this history is exclusively that of Catholic Augsburg. It doesn't even mention the dissolution of the Reichsstadt, which became part of Bavaria in 1806; the diocese that was dissolved in 1802, which this article discusses, was distinct from the city of Augsburg proper. But I don't have the time to go in and fix this all myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.146.129.97 (talk • contribs) April 22 2006

The City of Augsburg was, in fact, not part of the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg, which is the subject of this article. After the Reformation, I don't think the Bishop even went to Augsburg - his seat was at Dillingen. john k (talk) 00:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. I've split the article of the Catholic diocese apart from the state of the HRE. Benkenobi18 (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capital?

Should we not list Dillingen as an additional capital of the Bishopric, since Augsburg was not actually the seat of the later bishops? john k (talk) 00:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With no response for several months, I have done so. john k (talk) 03:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
